Paul, just a note of caution, if you are tempted
to use the small Mazda coolant sensor location on the rear
housing near the oil pressure sensor, be aware it is very none linear
(perhaps the Mazda coolant gauge is as well {:>)) - if you are
using another sensor then disregard. I thought I was getting temps of
over 250F by monitoring the Mazda Sensor in that location - until I calibrated
it in a pot of water and found out the temps were closer to 210F.

The engine has a stock water temp sender next
to the oil pressure switch. I will try using that to send temp information
to my engine monitor. If that does not work, I will install another
temp sending unit like the one that came stock in the water pump
housing.
Glad to hear you're getting real numbers
now, give or take that silly metric system :-) I'm not sure
what the specs are on the stock sensor, but you can get aftermarket
sensors that fit the rear housing hole. The thread is M10 x 1.0,
and egauges.com has them in at least the VDO range of
resistance.
